More quotes by Ludwig van Beethoven
There is no loftier mission than to approach the Divinity nearer than other men, and to disseminate the divine rays among mankind.
Ludwig van Beethoven
From the glow of enthusiasm I let the melody escape.
Ludwig van Beethoven
Only the flint of a man's mind can strike fire in music.
Ludwig van Beethoven
Music is the mediator between the spiritual and the sensual life. Although the spirit be not master of that which it creates through music, yet it is blessed in this creation, which, like every creation of art, is mightier than the artist.
Ludwig van Beethoven
Oh you men who think or say that I am malevolent, stubborn, or misanthropic, how greatly do you wrong me. You do not know the secret cause which makes me seem that way to you. Oh how harshly was I flung back by the doubly sad experience of my bad hearing.
Ludwig van Beethoven
The world is a king, and like a king, desires flattery in return for favor but true art is selfish and perverse — it will not submit to the mold of flattery.
Ludwig van Beethoven
Händel is the greatest and ablest of all composers from him I can still learn.
Ludwig van Beethoven
All my life I have regarded myself as one of Mozart's greatest admirers, and I will remain one until my last breath.
Ludwig van Beethoven
There is no loftier mission than to approach the Godhead more nearly than other mortals, and by means of that contact to spread the rays of the Godhead through the human race.
Ludwig van Beethoven
To play without passion is inexcusable!
Ludwig van Beethoven
Art! Who comprehends her? With whom can one consult concerning this great goddess?
Ludwig van Beethoven
Music is the electric soil in which the spirit thinks, lives and invents. All that's electrical stimulates the mind to flowing surging musical creation. I am electrical by nature.
Ludwig van Beethoven
I shall hear in heaven.
Ludwig van Beethoven
Oh continue to love me, never misjudge the most faithful heart of your beloved. Ever thine. Ever mine. Ever ours.
Ludwig van Beethoven
Music is like a dream. One that I cannot hear.
Ludwig van Beethoven
such incidents brought me to the verge of despair, but little more and I would have put an end to my life - only art it was that withheld me, - ah, it seemed impossible to leave the world until I had produced all that I had felt called upon to produce.
Ludwig van Beethoven
Music is the mediator between the life of the senses and the life of the spirit.
Ludwig van Beethoven
Don't only practice your art, but force your way into its secrets art deserves that, for it and knowledge can raise man to the Divine.
Ludwig van Beethoven
It is the power of music to carry one directly into the mental state of the composer.
Ludwig van Beethoven
She was such a good loving mother, my best friend. Oh, who was happier than I when I could still say the dear name Mother, and it was heard, and whom can I say it to now?
Ludwig van Beethoven
